So....anyone has ever aligned one of these?

I aligned successfully the IF and BC.

Then I got to the Short Wave alignment part, where you turn the coils' cores with a flat screwdriver.
I easily adjusted L5 of the 49M band but that was as far as I got: the rest (L10, L15) as well as the coils of other bands seem frozen. I chipped a little the L10 core and decided to stop.

Also the coils seem flimsy and I am simply afraid to break them off the board they are mounted on.

Is there any trick or special tool?

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
